And the grand reveal is...National Review writer David French? And it's not even confirmed? Don't get me wrong: French is a decorated Iraq war veteran, a strong writer, and a principled conservative whose stalwart commitment to religious liberty is admirable, even if one disagrees from time to time. He's also advanced eloquent, consistent and compelling arguments against both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton throughout the 2016 cycle. He's an impressive man. The impressiveness of his team -- if this presidential run ever actually comes to pass -- remains to be seen. But the notion that a relatively little-known writer could parachute into this race at such a late juncture and have a prayer of winning even a single state is, frankly, preposterous.
You’ll be surprised, you’re doing the French Mistake....VOILA!
Never heard of ‘em. He will need to remember to wear a nametag.
Meanwhile, Glen “Stabby” Beck is moaning “what about meeeeeeee?????”
Is he the fat guy on the cooking show???
The manny from Family Affair???
0.8% of the vote he’’l get. What a joke!!
(NOT!)
Can someone post a photo of Sebastian Cabot as Mr. French in Family Affair?
Is that the dude that was streaking buck naked during the Libertarian Party fiasco..I see this hobo on the local street corner who would be the perfect 3rd party candidate, yeah he talks to himself sometimes but thats OK
Sacre bleu!
I had some Chicago deep dish pizza and I still can’t believe that this is the guy Billy Kristol came up with!
Didn’t he play in a sitcom back in the 60s?
This is the best the Kristol has?
If this guy is as impressive as Benson claims, why would he risk his reputation by doing this ? Adm. Stockdale was one of the most impressive people outside of politics to ever seek national office, and showed quickly he was out of his element. That brilliant, noble man was made into an object of mockery and scorn.
To the Never Trump crowd.....WOW.....I haven’t such denial since Berlin 1945.
Still it won’t be enough to get them into Hillary’s cocktail parties.
Mark your calendar (block the dates November 13th to the 20th) for what is certain to be the conservative event of the year: the 2016 National Review Post Election Cruise. Prices start at just $1,999 per person, and “Single” staterooms begin at a very reasonable $2,699. Meet such conservatives as Victor David Hanson, Bing West, Jonah Goldberg and William Kristol.
I would get on that cruise just to flaunt a Trump win and tell them how much they have missed the boat.

His career in the military and apparent good conservative writing made him an admirable fellow - til now.
Now he becomes a trivia question and the butt of jokes.
Good career move Mr French!
